Sugar & Spice Candied Nuts

Adapted: Smitten Kitchen 

1 lb nuts {I used pecans & walnuts}
1/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
big pinch of ground cloves*
1 egg white
1 tbsp water

Notes:
-Use whatever type or blend of nuts that you prefer.
*For the spice, you can use 1/4 tsp hot paprika or a big pinch of cayenne pepper. I just thought that the cloves would give a nice bite and have the same flavor theme as the other holiday foods.

1. Preheat oven to 300F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the sugars, cinnamon, salt, and cloves until no lumps are visible; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the egg white and water until frothy, but not stiff before stirring in the nuts to evenly coat.
3. Slowly pour the sugar mix into the large bowl with nuts and stir until evenly coated. Pour onto prepared pans in an even layer.
4. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the nuts every 10 minutes. Cool completely before breaking up any large sections of nuts. Store in an air-tight container.
